ShareDiet not working? Blame your genes. That’s the pitch behind a Waltham firm’s new test that claims to show whether people will do better on a low-fat or a low-carb weight loss plan.
We’re all hard-wired with DNA that controls how we burn and store calories from various foods, and the test claims to sort out this machinery.
